Details below

Firstly Joeys Bar MCC was founded 4 years ago by a bunch of guys who frequent Joeys Bar in Ballymoney NI, the bar is owned by the Dunlop family of the late great Joey Dunlop. The club was set up by locals who all love motorcycle road racing, and as the club grew and found its feet we have dedicated ourselves to help out and sponsor local road racers and meetings. The riders we help out are on a shoestring budget and use all their own funds. These are the guys who will help keep road racing alive at grass roots.

As well as helping out riders we also have a memorial cup in the Armoy Road Races to our late member Johnnie O’Neil. This cup is for fastest lap in the Senior Support class, we give £300 a year along with the cup.

By purchasing this card you are donating to the club, with all money going back into road racing.

These cards are a one off with each having its own number.

they also have a facebook site Joey's Bar Facebok

No I may go for the full membership as it is apparently only open to people from Ballymoney

Strange one this. I thought I'd be hitting the 'buy it now' button immediately but didn't? I don't really see the point in anyone local buying the card as you can donate £25 to any rider(s) of your choice at any National. Other than a card there's no visible return for your outlay so why not give the money to someone on a shoestring in the Paddock of your choice?

I like the idea of full membership but can't see me moving house just to make it happen. I wish them luck with the venture though and hopefully all those Joey fans who live outside of NI will see it as a worthwhile cause.
